Colbeh is a cosy Persian restaurant at 6 Porchester Place, just away from the bustle of Edgware Road. Established in 2001, it combines framed Persian artwork with a prominent mosaic tandoor where fresh flatbread is baked in view of diners.
Traditional Persian ingredients and recipes shape the menu, with charcoal-grilled lamb and chicken served alongside rice, stews and vegetable dishes. Saffron, dried fruit, nuts and aromatic spices create the balance of savoury, sweet and tart flavours associated with the cuisine.
Kebabs range from tender lamb fillet to saffron-marinated chicken, while mixed grill platters suit sharing. Okra stew, lamb shank, biryani and rice with barberries broaden the selection, and fresh bread from the clay oven accompanies starters and main dishes.
Fresh juices and other drinks complete the meal, with takeaway and delivery also available. Guests with allergies should discuss ingredients with staff because bread, marinades, yoghurt, nuts and shared preparation may affect several dishes.
Address: 6 Porchester Place, London W2 2BS, England
